Where are my .DBX files

[maltaron]

I have just carried out a full restart of my computer. Prior to reformat I saved my Outlook Express .DBX files to a CD. I now want to reinstall these files but the path to the .DBX does not exist. Help please TIA

Mine are here :-
C:\Documents and Settings\Dobbo\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{0E8EBF8C-A0B8-4804-9A28-B996C433F045}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

Replace the Dobbo with you login or Default User and the number will be different but the rest could be the same......maybe

Should give you some idea.

Do a searcH for *.DBX

THanks for the replies. Prior to full system recovery the files were exactly as Dobbo suggested. However, since recovery there is no "local settings" and search for *.DBX finds nothng. Strange thing is that another computer running win2k has exactly the same problem.

Thanks for your help. Problem Solved. For the benefit of other users all that was required was to turn on hidden files in explorer.
